Two Ways to Get a Birth Certificate in Hawaii

The Old-Fashioned Way:

Curious about how to get a birth certificate in Hawaii? You have a couple of options.

Hawaii law requires applications to have a "direct and tangible interest" in the birth certificate—that is, you must be the person named on the record, their spouse, their parent, their descendant, a legal representative, or another party with a valid reason to request one of these documents. For this reason, you must be able to provide the following information:

• Your name, address, and telephone number• Your relationship to the person named on the birth certificate• Your reason for ordering the certificate• The full name listed on the requested certificate• The file number of the certificate (if you know it)• The date that the birth occurred• Name of the town and island where the birth took place• The father’s full name and the mother’s full maiden name• A copy of your valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, state identification card)• If you are applying on someone else’s behalf, you must provide a signed letter from that person authorizing the release of their certificate to you as well as a photocopy of their valid government-issued photo ID.

Hawaii birth certificates cost $10 for the first copy, and $4 for each additional copy (if requested at the same time as the original). Note: There is also a $2.50 "portal administration fee" for each order up to five copies, and each five-copy increment after that. You can pay with a cashier’s check, certified check, or money order made payable to the State Department of Health. Personal checks are not accepted.

After your application has been approved, the certificates should be mailed within six to eight weeks.​The New Way:
